Alleged intruder shot by girl faces burglary charge
DURANT - A man who was shot by a 12-year-old Oklahoma girl after he allegedly broke into a house where she was home alone has been charged with first-degree burglary.
Authorities say the girl called the Bryan County sheriff's office and said she was hiding in her mother's closet because someone was trying to break into the house. Investigators say 32-year-old Stacey Adam Jones got into the house and the girl shot him through a door.
Durant police saw a bleeding man running through a field, and the man told officers he was shot inside the home where the girl was hiding.
The Durant Daily Democrat reported that Jones told police he'd been homeless for 10 days and was looking for food.
Police ruled the shooting was justifiable.

Chad Jeremy Long, 36, who was fired after being charged with embezzlement in July, is accused of entering a restricted area to access beer taps after beer sales were cut off for the night, according to a report.
